Chapter 467: Doubts
"Let's go! This time you should know that if you don't use force, the city will quickly spiral out of control. ”
Putina tugged at Zhang Yang's arm, which was the truest explanation for his misunderstanding just now.
Catherine's brows furrowed tightly, and she stood there in a daze, while He Shuqing kept shaking her head and sighing......
Several policemen had already spotted them, especially when they saw the with a weapon in his hand, and immediately became alert, and they all raised their pistols and rushed to this side.
"Let's go! If there is a conflict, the scene will be even more out of control. ”
Putina took Zhang Yang's arm, said hello to a dozen people with the other hand, and walked upstairs.
She was not afraid that the police would suddenly shoot, to put it bluntly, at this time in the city, there was no distinction between good people and bad people, and there was only one common enemy left, that is, the plague.
When they first came, Zhang Yang and the three thought that the so-called protection of the other party was actually a kind of hijacking, but now it seems that without them, it would be really difficult to enter this hospital, or even walk in the city at all.
Although the hospital is the largest in the city, it has only four floors, and when you reach the staircase on the third floor, you can see a thumb-thick fence welded on it.
A small door was opened in the middle, allowing only one person to enter and exit, and policemen with submachine guns stood on either side of the door.
It's not like a hospital at all, it's more appropriate to say it's a prison......
"Stop, what are you doing?" When the two policemen saw several people, they immediately closed the iron door and shouted at the crowd with their guns.
"This is a medical assistance expert sent by the United Nations, and I am their translator to help treat the patient." Putina hastily explained in her native language.
The policeman glanced at the dozen or so people holding weapons, and then at Zhang Yang and the three others, with obvious doubts on their faces.
After all, except for He Shuqing, who has a scholarly atmosphere, Zhang Yang and Catherine are obviously too young, which is very different from the impression of experts and professors in their impressions.
"These people are soldiers of the government, the city is blocked, and they are worried that if they enter the city in military uniforms, the people will react violently, so they dress up like this to protect us from coming here."
Putina pulled out a green booklet from her pocket and handed it over, lying as she spoke.
The Liberian government was not aware of the medical aid convoy because of signal interference, so naturally it would not notify the police in the city.
The policeman stretched out his hand to take the certificate + and looked at it, then pointed to the silver box in Zhang Yang's hand, obviously signaling him to open it and take a look.
“YES……”
Catherine was very smart, and although she couldn't understand what they were saying, she could see the police's questioning, and immediately gestured to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang understood what she meant, picked up the box and opened it, which contained laboratory utensils and medical detector equipment such as computers......
"Only the four of you can go in, and the others will stay outside."
The police were relieved to see that they were not carrying weapons, but at the same time said that they would not allow anyone else to enter.
"Yes, yes." Putina readily agreed, and turned around and told the people who came with her to rest on both sides of the staircase.
……
After the four of them entered the iron bar, the police immediately locked the small door inside, one guarded the door, and the other led them into the corridor.
The corridor was exceptionally quiet, in stark contrast to the noisy and noisy downstairs, and Zhang Yangtong saw that the departments were empty and empty, and there were not too many patients coming up for treatment.
Of course, this situation is understandable, once the patients rush in, not only will the scene be more chaotic, but even the doctor may be infected.
It seems that this is also the main reason why the third floor is locked with an iron fence, and only one patient can enter at a time.
The police led the four men to an office at the end of the hallway, knocked on the door, and only after hearing an echo from inside did they open the door and let the four in.
In the office, a black man in his forties and glasses was sitting sideways looking at a black-and-white TV in the corner in a daze, and immediately stood up after seeing several people, with surprise and confusion on his face.
The policeman walked over and whispered something in his ear, glancing at the four men from time to time, apparently explaining to him the identities of the four men and the purpose of their visit.
After listening to the policeman's explanation, he smiled happily, glanced around at the four of them, and began to say something to Putina.
"He is the dean here, Mr. Amirgar, and he is grateful to everyone for risking their lives to come to their aid." Putina tilted her head to the three of them as she translated.
"Hurry up and get him to find us an office, and then start treating the sick, it's important to develop a vaccine for the plague."
Zhang Yang usually dislikes this kind of politeness, not to mention the language barrier, everything needs this black girl to translate, and it is a critical moment, so he is even more impatient.
"Yes, after the plague is controlled, it's not too late for everyone to talk in detail." He Shuqing also spoke.
After all, for every minute of delay, one more innocent plague-infected person may die, and isn't it just to save time and save people by risking their lives to come here?
Especially when he saw those miserable patients just now, he felt even more pity, and he wished to start developing a vaccine for the virus immediately.
Thinking of this, even this steady old man thought that the procedure in front of him was a little wordy.
"Yes, I'll tell him." Putina agreed, and turned her head to continue explaining to the dean.
To put it bluntly, she was also worried that the time would drag on for too long, although the purpose of bringing a dozen people was to protect Zhang Yang's safety, but for those peacekeepers, it was a real hijacking.
Once the government's reinforcements arrive and the siege is lifted, they are bound to rush here as soon as possible, how can a dozen of them be their opponents?
"Can you help us find a real room that can facilitate our treatment of patients and develop a vaccine for the plague." Putina spoke directly to Amirgar.
"Real yàn room?"
With a look of embarrassment and embarrassment on his face, Amirgar continued, "Recently, there have been more and more patients, and even the only real room has been converted into a ward to facilitate the hospitalization of patients. ”
"Really?"
Putina frowned, as if there was something else hidden in the dean's tone, not to mention that when she came in just now, the corridor was quiet, and if there were many patients, it would definitely be very noisy.
He said bluntly: "Dean, the third floor is so quiet, where are so many patients here?" ”
"We deliberately explained that patients were not allowed to make noise for fear of disturbing other patients' treatment."
Amirgar glanced at a few people, and continued with obvious weakness in his eyes: "The entire third and fourth floors are divided into outpatient clinics and wards, these third floors are outpatient clinics, so they are quieter, and the fourth floor is a ward, for patients who are plagued by severe disease. ”
"Since you only need a real room, why don't you just be in my office, I don't know if you can do it?" He said this in a consultative tone.
He had heard from the police just now that there were more than a dozen soldiers with loaded guns outside, so he knew that Putina couldn't afford to mess with him, so he reluctantly agreed to vacate the office for them as a real room.
"Yes, thank you, Dean." Putina agreed.
After all, she has studied in China and knows the medical strength and gap between various countries, to put it bluntly, Liberia's medical equipment is very backward compared with China and the United States.
Zhang Yang and He Shuqing are both traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and she knew from the first day they came to Liberia that the medical equipment was useless for them.
And in the box that Catherine opened just now, she obviously had brought all kinds of advanced equipment, so it no longer matters what place is used as a real room.
"I'll have them clean up for you." After Amirgar finished speaking, without waiting for them to answer, he turned and walked out of the office quickly.
……
"Did you notice anything wrong with this hospital?" Putina looked at the dean's back and said to Zhang Yang.
"What could be wrong?" Zhang Yang looked around and asked rhetorically.
IN HIS OPINION, AT THIS TIME, HE SHOULD BELONG TO THE ENEMY RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS BLACK GIRL, AFTER ALL, SHE IS A FANZHENGFU MILITANT.
And although I came here this time, although it was for the people infected with the plague, it was also for the relationship between China and Liberia, since they were enemies of the government, they were definitely not their friends.
It is undeniable that he is not disgusted with Putina, and even Cannid is not like the kind of vicious and ruthless person, but when he thinks of the tragic death of the little girl, he unconsciously transfers this hatred to them.
"There are so many patients out there who need treatment, but it's so quiet here." Putina voiced her doubts.
"Then why don't you just ask him directly?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorically, although he was also curious in his heart, but there was an impatient tone in his words.
In the huge office, there are desks and chairs, and there is a large bookcase on one side, which is neatly filled with books.
There was a TV on the table near the corner, and the style was the black and white style that had long been eliminated in Huaxia, but he had also heard Feng Yanran say that in this country where the people did not have enough to eat, it was already considered a luxury.
On the opposite side of the TV, there is a row of maroon fabric sofas, which are also old but very clean.
It's not like a hospital office, but it's just as comfortable as home......
"I asked, and he said that it was to prevent too many patients from disturbing the treatment, so he deliberately told the patients to be quiet."
"Well, it's also possible, the patients infected with the plague are very impulsive, and they are forced to do so."
He Shuqing took over the conversation, shook her head helplessly and continued: "What's more, the more sick people there are, the easier it is to accelerate the spread of the plague, affecting some patients who are not infected with the plague. ”
He said this with a clear nerdy air, and it was also a cliché used by doctors, but he forgot that at this moment, the plague was the most severe disease in the city.
The people who were not infected with the plague did not even dare to go out of the door, and even if they had a minor illness, they would definitely not dare to come to the hospital for treatment, and the plague patients downstairs alone were enough to make people prohibitive.
